Harper was pretty happy this morning so we had a little photo session. Her little face has gotten a lot better so I didn't retouch these pictures for the first time in 2 weeks. YEAY!

Harper is getting so fun - she just smiles at us when we talk to her and she's starting to make a lot of sounds that sound like she wants to talk. She will imitate sounds we make.We just know she will be talking in full sentences at 3 months. ha ha ha!

These pictures are maybe my favorite ever

I got the tutu in the mail from this sweet blogger yesterday and couldn't wait to put it on her!!! Isn't this adorable?????

She took a nap in her crib for the first time today!

I was supposed to go to a shower for my friend Ginger tonight. She is expecting Cade in a few weeks. I was in charge of punch so I made this. I'm so sad to miss but the time change has really affected Harper. She normally goes to sleep at 6:30 but she has been REALLY unhappy and not going to sleep until 8 or 9. It makes Scott real nervous to keep her when she's screaming so I decided it just wasn't worth it to try. I SO hated to miss.

I think tomorrow will be a post on recession fashion - how to dress for $30 or less. Do ya'll have tips? Save them for tomorrow and maybe I'll do Mr. Linky and you can share how to look cute for less.

Also check out the new Serious Life Magazine! Lots of great articles on fellow bloggers like MckMama and Steece's Pieces and maybe someone else you know (pg 134-137) (I had the wrong pages here earlier) oops!

What cute pictures. So what program do you use to touch up pics? I have that need to be touched up and and don't have a good one to use. I like to take out marks on me that i hate and i love to have color accent in some pics.

I recently adopted Ephesians 3:20 as my mantra for the journey through having a baby. My husband and I had a miscarriage in November, and are now 6 weeks pregnant with our second. I have Ephesians in the signature of my email, and there is a really cool experience I had today that involves it. If you're interested in reading it, you can go to my blog... it's the Speechless entry.

Also, I don't know if you still have a list of expectant mommies, but you can add me to the November list! We're keeping it hush-hush until we have our ultrasound in 5 weeks... but we're super excited!

I loooove your blog, and keep you and your family in my prayers daily!

Oh, Harper in the tutu and big flower! Carman Miranda couldn't have done it better. The picture of Harper in Serious Life is one of my favorites. Congrats on the article. Looking forward to the fashion ideas.Keeping you in my heart in GA.Donna

I've lurked here forever, Kelly. I thought today was just as good as any to finally comment. Especially after I saw that precious baby decked out in all her tutu and floral glory. I'm not a cannibal, but good grief, I could just eat her! I'm so very happy for you and this little future Tri Chi! ;) Reading these posts makes me remember those first few days with my babies. Oh, Kelly, savor every single second. Even the ones that don't seem like ones you'd particularly want to savor.

her Tutu is the cutest thing ever! I love tutu's. I have a tip for her little face. I use it on my Daughter when her face gets all red and broken out, clear Desitin. I know it sounds crazy but, it really works. I put it on when I notice she's starting to get broken out and it works GREAT!!!!!!

Hi Kelly~I just wanted to let you know that I have so enjoyed reading your blog. Harper is just precious! I gave you an award on my blog, because your positive attitude and your unending faith are awesome. Thank you for being such a blessing. I have also added your recipe blog to my blog!

Harper is ABSOLUTELY adorable! I have been following your blog ever since I received an e-mail asking for prayers for Miss Harper and your family. I must say that you are truly an amazing individual and I really enjoy reading your blogs! I am excited to see what kind of tips you have on how to shop on the cheap! I LOVE Old Navy, Wally-World and Target! You can't go wrong!!

Harper looks adorable in her tutu and flower headband - I love that look! I'll be looking forward to seeing your recession fashion tips - if you have any geared towards maternity, I'd love to hear them. I still have a trimester left and everything is getting snug, but who wants to spend a fortune on clothes you'll only wear for another 10-12 weeks?!

And I'm so glad you heard about Emily and Ellie (I'm a friend of Emily's) - thank you so much for praying for them and for linking to her blog. God can do so many amazing things! Praise Him for that!

Hey!I've been reading your blog for months, but just started my own recently. I absolutely love hearing your updates on your beautiful daughter...she is definitely a gift from God! Just thought I'd say hello!

That tutu is absolutely amazing!!! I wish I could wear one and not get laughed at. :) You have such a great blog and even though I don't know you in real life, I feel like I do in blog life. Keep up the great work!

Hi Kelly!I've been following your blog for awhile now as a lurker! I wanted to let you know how adorable Harper is and how happy I am for you and your sweet family! She is a very lucky girl to be a part of your family!And, don't you just love dressing a girl? My son is 8 and he was fun to dress as a little baby but boy oh boy having a girl is a whole different ball game hun!Happy day wishes to you and yours!Hugs, Les

I have to tell you that your baby is truly adorable. I have four babies (ages 27, 24, 21 & 17) and I don't think any of them was as beautiful as your Harper. Just thought I would let you know that.kathleen

I love love LOVE your crib bedding? Where did you get it or have it made? Also I see your crib is white? Does the colors look good with the white ( couldnt tell from the picture) I am thinking white or black furniture ( ok I'm not pregnant yet but I already obsess over these details :) Maybe you could post about it one day :)

I like the first picture the best...the look on that precious face!Continuing to pray!2 Timothy 1:8-10 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:Prayer BearsMy email address

So adorable. She's too cute for words. I feel ya with the newborn rash thing. My son had it so bad that my husband referred to him as our little burn victim; our doctor said it was one of the worst cases he had ever seen. I loved when our son turned about 8 weeks. He came alive and really starting acting like his own little person. Enjoy every minute (I know you do) it goes so fast. My first baby is now 6 months and feel like it's all going way too fast. Keep posting pictures I need my daily fix.

she is getting so big!!!! so what was the secret it getting her skin to heal up? it looks great! it's always different for everyone... she is such a pretty girl... so kissable!my plan for recession dressing--no more shopping :-( my husband says we're on a "spending freeze." uuggh.

OH MY WORD! she is too cute! that tutu is absolutely the epitome of GIRL! Let me also comment on your bedding... where did you get it? I love the pattern. It is so beautiful. I love the colors! So glad she is doing well... just a quick question though... have you heard of baby wyse? It is great when it comes to the issue of babies sleeping. If you ever want to check it out hop over to my blog and in the side bar under blogs I read... click on chronicles of a baby wise mom. I always refer back to it... it helps with everything from sleep, naps, temper tantrums, whining, etc. love it... it has been such a help when I just don't know what to do anymore!

The "Cactus Cuties" are from my town, Lubbock Texas (on the front page of the magazine) I actually teach the cute blonde in the front. Small world. They are big time...I will have to read the WHOLE thing!!! I love your blog, your little angel is just that, an angel!!!

Look at that little cutie in her tutu! So precious!!! Thanks for posting the link to Emily & her baby Ellie! I'm following her story too. You're such an encouragment to so many women, Kelly! Thanks for the updates on little miss! she's a cutie!

oh! and I can't wait to read about dressing cute for $30! I have several outfits that were under $30, and at fashionable stores, like Ann Taylor Loft!

She is such a beauty! I think in the first picture she definately looks like your husband but in the other ones she definately looks like you. What do most people tell you? You get so many comments I don't have the time to read through them :)

Such a sweet girl! I know you probably get lots of unwanted advice, but this is too important for me to not say...she really shouldn't have a loose blanket in her crib with her as it's a suffocation risk. The same goes for the bumper even though it's so precious:) But it's really, really unsafe. The American Academy of Pediatrics says that cribs should not have bumpers on them at all, but if you must to be sure it's a tight bumper, not a plush one.I so don't want to offend you in any way, because you are doing a great job! I've just done a lot of research on SIDS, both as a mom and for my degree in college, and those 2 things are so important in order to do all you can to prevent SIDS. I just couldn't live with myself if I didn't say something.I absolutely love the tutu, by the way! Harper is so remarkably photogenic for a little baby!:)

The tutu pictures are so cute, but my FAVE is the first one!!! Love the expression on H's face!!

Did you watch Biggest Loser last night??? What in the world?? That Filipe flipped! (And why didn't Jillian ever work him? They left that off.) And the booze and food? The Black Team shouldn't have won. Poor Blue Team!

This is Kirsten Warren, Emily Wagner's sis-in-law, and I wanted to thank you for putting her blog info on your blog...she has received a ton of support from your followers/readers/friends, and for that I am SO GRATEFUL!! Your daughter is beautiful by the way:):) God bless, kirsten

I would love to know where you got Harper's bedding from. I just found out that I am expecting again and I already have 2 boys, so of course I am so hoping for a girl! I really love her bedding!!! Hate to be a copy cat, but hey, if it's cute, it's cute, right!

Hey Kelly! I have just recently started reading your blog! I have had so much fun going back and reading Harper's whole story! Wow! Glory to God! You mentioned Harper's face in this recent post and I was curious if it was baby acne? My 10-week old suffered from what we thought was baby acne and it turned out that she was allergic to the dairy in MY diet. (Oh, how I miss ice cream! ha!) Have you done anything to help clear up Harper's skin or has it cleared up on its own? She looks great!!

Yay thanks for the punch receipe! I seriously just added "find punch receipe" to my to-do list for tomorrow because we have a work shower on Friday. One thing checked off before the day even begins- PTL!!!!!!!!!!!! And I hate you had to miss the shower. While I love the extra hour of sunshine, daylight savings was created by people WITHOUT small children! We have had a tough week also.
